Strangely interesting cake! The texture is really quite different to a normal butter-based sponge. This is much more cake, with a denser texture (vaguely like a madeira but very moist with it). It's very pale and at first I didn't think it had cooked through but tasted great, ultra-easy to make and lots of praise for it. Personally though, zest of one lemon would not have been nearly enough. It was still a fairly subtle flavour at the two that I used and I was glad I'd added a lemon syrup over the top after cooking. Cooking time in Gas 4 was more like 50 mins for me.
Definitely making this again! - 11 Jul 2011
